Attention: Those Who Want to Mirror

If you're looking to help mirror drx's prototypes after they are released, please first

MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT ON "FREE"/SHARED HOSTING. Yeah, your package sheet may say you get 2TB bandwidth, but realistically, you have something like 30GB before they'll cut you off. Sorry, that's how the Internet works. If you have hosting, please make sure your bandwidth is actually alloted to you.

That being said, if you want to be a mirror, go ahead and reply to this with what you plan to mirror, what your bandwidth cap is, and the physical location of your server. I'm thinking of either making a big regional mirror list or setting up a round robin dns to distribute traffic more evenly.

Another thing, it may be said that it has 2TB, but maybe it's 2TB between all the pages their host. So you may have to take that into account. Besides he's right, normally you get around 30 or 50 GB of bandwidth... for paid posts. Free hosts normally don't give you more than 5GB. So forget it.

I would mirror in Sepwich as no bandwidth no size limits are assigned to me, but I know Sepwich would get down immediately with so many downloads, so no :P

Total Bandwidth Provided: 5680 GB ($0.1/GB over)
Total Used So Far: 0.955 GB
Yeah, DreamHost shared hosting... obviously you can see we use a whopping ton of it.

It might not be much, but I can probably offer at least some, provided I can get some free time on Saturday/etc...

All companies are guilty of that sort of thing, the most recent one that springs to mind is comcast.

Do I need to upload my paper I just wrote on that? :P

As far as hosting goes, I could host the Sonic ones if needed on el servo, but I don't have very fast upload (640k). Bandwidth is not an issue though. As far as space goes I have about 20GB left on it that are on SCSI 10,000RPM drives in RAID-5. It's located in eastern Iowa, U.S.
